This assignment is integrated into the generative AI unit of the Emerging Communication Technologies course. It includes step-by-step designs and reflective examples from students, highlighting the evolution of their perceptions of generative AI. The assignment uniquely focuses on understanding and raising awareness of stereotypes present in…

The rapid advancement of language translation tools and generative artificial intelligence applications has significantly facilitated the production of academic research while simultaneously introducing new challenges to maintaining academic ethics and detecting plagiarism. This study examines how plagiarism rates vary when academic texts are…

Understanding software modelers' difficulties and evaluating their performance is crucial to Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) education. The software modeling process contains fine-grained information about the modelers' analysis and thought processes. However, existing research primarily focuses on identifying obvious issues in the software…

Online question answering sites, such as Stack Overflow (SO), have become an important learning and support platform for computer-science learners and practitioners who are seeking help. Learners on SO are currently faced with the problem of unanswered questions, inhibiting their lifelong-learning efforts and contributing to delays in their…

In this article, we state an interesting geometric conservation property between the three angle bisectors of three similar right triangles and provide a proof without words for its justification. A GeoGebra applet is also presented to help with the understanding of the progression of the proof from inductive to deductive stage.

Hands-on experiments with overturning some prisms (partially filled with water) lead students to a conjecture which can be confirmed by using a 3D geometry programme and reinterpreting the process of "overturning of a prism" in an appropriate way. But such confirmations are not a proof and particularly cannot answer the question…

Background: In agile software engineering team projects, effective collaboration and communication between members are essential for promoting agility and lean software development. Agile methodologies, which emphasize iterative development, collaboration and adaptability, are well suited to dynamic educational environments. However, agile teams…

Generative AI systems, such as ChatGPT and Bard, can significantly enhance education by providing personalized learning experiences. They can tailor content, quizzes, and explanations to individual students; act as virtual tutors, and offer instant feedback. However, privacy concerns have arisen because of the need for personal data. Ensuring…

This study investigates iMessage Tapbacks (e.g., [heart], [thumb up], !!) as "sequence-closing seconds," or minimal responses that fulfill conversational obligations in text-based group chats. Through conversation analysis of three group conversations, the analysis demonstrates how Tapbacks operate as efficient second pair-parts (2pps)…

This article investigates the effectiveness of a newly developed online tool for assessing and improving the design and accessibility of Learning Management System (LMS) sites in Higher Education. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data. Results from 25 subject coordinators and 3 peer…

FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) research data including software have become a major point of discussion for the educational technology (EdTech) community in recent years. For software, the community has been investigating these issues since its inception in the 90s and 2000s, first starting with learning objects. In this…

Institutional repositories (IRs) remain a powerful tool for opening, sharing, and preserving scholarship. Scholarly communication (SC) services and resources are essential to promoting and supporting IRs. Linking SC services within an IR offers support to users at their point of need. This study investigates the prevalence of web linking between…

Most researchers receive formal training in frequentist statistics during their undergraduate studies. In particular, hypothesis testing is usually rooted on the null hypothesis significance testing paradigm and its p-value. Null hypothesis Bayesian testing and its so-called Bayes factor are now becoming increasingly popular. Although the Bayes…

Understanding part-whole relations is crucial in early mathematics education. However, both analogue and digital learning environments often lack systematic approaches to foster part-whole understanding. With the rising popularity of educational apps, it is essential to evaluate how they implement learning of part-whole relations. Accordingly,…

The advent of GPT (generative pre-trained transformer) technologies, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft's New Bing, and Google's Bard, has recently sparked lively discussions in various industries. However, it is still unclear what impact the advent of GPT will have on the academic sectors. In light of this, we have undertaken a summary and…
